[1 CPE] Protecting Your Critical Data

  Presented by Optiv & Rubrik

Businesses today rely heavily on technology and data. Though most organizations have developed strategies to access critical data during an outage caused by natural disasters or power disruptions, these strategies are ineffective during a cyber attack. Interconnected users, servers, cloud devices, and continuous web access results in an environment that is open for cybercriminals to significantly disrupt operations and/or take an entire network hostage.

How can you support the identification and protection of critical data that must be shielded from the impact of cyber attacks, while also enabling rapid recovery to a secure state? Join us to learn how you can automatically store backups in a malware-protected, air-gapped vault or a remote cloud-based solution that safeguards your data’s confidentiality, integrity, and availability. We’ll discuss how you can ensure your data is verified and clean before entering the vault and is maintained in an immutable state while within the vault, significantly reducing recovery time by guaranteeing that you are recovering to a known good state.

[1 CPE] Thinking Upstream: Avoid the Fallout of the next Log4Shell

  Presented by Tidelift

News of a zero-day vulnerability in the popular open-source project Log4j broke in December, leading many organizations scrambling to figure out the impact on their applications. Nearly every organization developing applications was impacted, and the fallout was so broad that the FTC issued guidance.

Log4Shell comes on the heels of the U.S. White House cybersecurity executive order 14028, an attempt by the United States government to use its purchasing power to create positive changes to the way cybersecurity is addressed around the world.

Recent high-profile breaches like Log4Shell, the Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack, or the SolarWinds software supply chain attack have shown that our cybersecurity defenses are woefully inadequate. This executive order forces a higher standard of cybersecurity for any organization selling software to the federal government, which in turn makes it the de facto global standard for all software in the future.

Tidelift CEO and co-founder Donald Fischer shares his perspective on how the Log4Shell vulnerability and the cybersecurity executive order impact software supply chain security. He’ll brief attendees on the key issues addressed by the executive order, including software bill of materials (SBOM), supply chain security, and provenance requirements. He’ll outline the gaps that most organizations will need to close to stay in compliance. And he’ll share a proactive approach to addressing open-source software supply chain health and security upstream.

If you want to ensure your organization is fully prepared for the coming changes, you won’t want to miss this session.

[1 CPE] Stopping Ransomware with Autonomous Response

  Presented by Darktrace

Join Brianna Leddy, Darktrace’s Director of Analysis, as she unpacks some of today’s most advanced ransomware threats. Learn how Self-Learning AI understands the organization to reveal every stage of a ransomware attack – and takes targeted, autonomous action to stop the threat in its tracks.

[1 CPE] Health and Safety Innovations Lay a Smart Digital Foundation

  Presented by Hitachi Vantara & IT1 Source

The pandemic has accelerated innovation to protect health and safety, while laying a foundation for broader digital transformation across industries. Learn how automated detection of PPE, social distancing, collision avoidance, thermal scanning, and compliance analytics are helping companies reduce risk while protecting their workers and customers, and how this shift is preparing them to thrive in our digital future.

[1 CPE] Automated Enforcement Advances: Protecting Against Ransomware

  Presented by Illumio

Attackers are continuing to successfully set off cyber disasters across the globe. Organizations that focus solely on detection and response find that they can’t detect or respond fast enough. Cyberattacks and ransomware break through perimeters and then leverage common ports to stay undetected until they have spread throughout an organization.

There are new advancements that allow organizations to protect their key assets from cyberattacks and ransomware in minutes – across multi cloud, containers, hybrid and on-premises environments.

We’ll discuss how these innovations can help you:

  • Immediately enforce security policy across your organization to protect high-value assets.
  • Dramatically reduce the risk of supply-chain attacks like the recent Kaseya ransomware.
  • Scale as needed to enforce more than 100,000 workloads in cloud, hybrid, and on-premises environments.
  • Get real-time visibility and insights to create, enforce, and test security policy.
  • Monitor workloads in and out of applications hosted in public clouds to simplify and secure cloud migrations and automate multi-cloud security.

[1 CPE] Security vs. Compliance: Turning InfoSec Success into Audit Wins

  Presented by Tripwire

Security and compliance teams both strive to design, establish, and enforce controls to protect an organization. But even with shared goals in place, security and compliance teams often manage business risk in relative isolation. So how can these teams set aside tension and work better together to create a winning alliance?

In this session, we explore the key differences between security and compliance initiatives. It’s crucial to understand that being fully compliant doesn’t necessarily mean an organization is fundamentally secure. We’ll cover how the two initiatives complement each other when it comes to minimizing risk and how both teams can collaborate to create efficiencies. Attendees will learn how to leverage compliance policies to set the foundation to a robust information security program, while providing true visibility and coverage, consolidating toolsets, and reducing costs. Lastly, we’ll discuss how to ensure that a successful security program can help organizations prepare for an upcoming audit to ultimately achieve and maintain continuous compliance.

[1 CPE] Zero Trust: From Theory to Reality in Five Steps

  Presented by Guardicore

Let’s be real. True to its name, there is zero trust about the term “zero trust.” It’s been used as marketecture since its inception. Cut through the fog with this presentation with practical insight and steps to take to ensure your organization makes the most out of ZTA.

[1 CPE] Thinking Upstream About White House Cybersecurity Executive Order 14028

  Presented by Tidelift

A few months ago, the U.S. White House released cybersecurity executive order 14028, an attempt by the United States government to use its purchasing power to create positive changes to the way cybersecurity is addressed around the world.

Recent high-profile breaches like the Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack or the SolarWinds software supply chain attack have shown that our cybersecurity defenses are woefully inadequate. This executive order forces a higher standard of cybersecurity for any organization selling software to the federal government, which in turn makes it the de facto global standard for all software in the future.

Tidelift CEO and co-founder Donald Fischer shares his perspective on how the cybersecurity executive order impacts software supply chain security. He’ll brief attendees on the key issues addressed by the executive order, including software bill of materials (SBOM), supply chain security, and provenance requirements. He’ll outline the gaps that most organizations will need to close to stay in compliance. And he’ll share a proactive approach to addressing open-source software supply chain health and security upstream.

[1 CPE] Cybersecurity Market Trends and MDR

  Presented by Bitdefender

Mobile workforces were already an increasing trend in business even before we all had to deal with sending our teams home during the pandemic. As many of us work through our return to office plans with hope in our hearts, it is clear that the remote work trend has intensified and will likely continue to do so in the future.

Remote work has challenged traditional security approaches and forced us to think harder about how we can best support the changing nature of work. Thankfully, many of the technology, process, and people changes needed to support remote workers have significant benefits in our overall security posture.

For this session, we’ll talk about trends our security operations center saw in remote work environments and their impact on security operations, discuss theories around how to plan and support these workers, and talk about technology approaches that may help your organization support these workers better while improving your overall security posture.
